Good people are hard to find!
We think this way in business, when looking at sports coaches for our kids teams, or when we finally find the “right” person to clean our house, look after our kids and build our garden.
But in our life, or interactions and experiences… it isn’t always about the skills, but about the person. And yes, even here, good people are hard to find.
I don’t really spend much time appreciating myself, although I do have a core group of women I can always rely on to give me a confidence boost, or to tell me I am doing ok! But I do yearn to find a way to appreciate myself, without outside influence. To be able to let my confidence build inside of me until it oozes on the floor. To believe in my strengths, and accept my weaknesses as quirks (is it possible?)
Good people are hard to find… until you find one.
A person who can show you how to appreciate yourself, a person who shares with others, who recognizes those who add to her life. A persons who is just damn friendly, supportive and caring.
I am blessed to be considered part of this persons world, to be included in her “group” so to speak. I loved being able to be nurtured. I love that this person appreciates herself.
I am so experienced with people who do not accept me as I am, people who use my skills against me, compete relentlessly and undermine me when they can. I have heard so many women gossip bitterly about their “friends” I have truly lived on the “dark side” of female relationships for too long.
It is by welcoming and being welcomed by these “good women” that I am having confidence in feminine relationships again. That I can let go of the bad and welcome the trust of the good. That I can let go, not be angry and realise that relationships should be good, should help you grow and are wonderful when they are selfless.
Look at the relationships around you, realise if they are for the best, or just there out of habit. Collect the “good people” around you and see how it changes your life!
So again, thank you! Thank you Sharon Perry, for helping me! Thank you for including me in your collection of “good people” I feel honored to be considered one of them.

What a touching story. Thank you for being so open and honest as its not easy putting your heart out there.
Thank YOU Amy! It was my goal this year to write what i think… however embarrassing, awful… or wonderful! thanks for reading (and commenting, I love getting comments!) jules
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this piece !!! I concur; Sharon Perry is indeed an incredible person – as are you !!! I look forward to the day when a collection of “good people” in society is the NORM, not a rarity !
MMMwah! Cheryl! I say we start a new tribe! Maybe we should tote around polygraphs to make sure people are being honest as well!
What a beautiful post and a tribute to what girl-friends are suppose to be about. We should always raise each other up not tear each other down. Cheers to Sharon!
Sounds like you are finding it easier to “collect good people”. Anyone lucky enough to hang with you I would think it would bring out their own “best” selves. LOVE the photo!!!
